Treat this tune from Illangelo like a haiku. It may not make sense right away, but after some time you will be able to see the beauty in 'Clockwork'.

The strangely hypnotising vocals begin this track from ILLANGELO for Bromance and careen into the outer regions as the track progresses. Mixed with a slowly dripping electronic beat and pitter patter of the delicate keys, 'Clockwork' is a layered pastiche of electronic goodness.

Phlo Finister's pretty vocal work make this track way more delicate than it would be if the vocals were missing. Electronic dubstep plays a major part in lifting this track into an original piece of its own.

What is sultry and innocent about the vocals is juxtaposed with the industrial sounding beats that are strewn across the track in a jumbled fashion that just seems to work. Perhaps it is the keys that keep this track from sounding a little too mismatched.
